Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

Various Artists - ESPN Presents Jock Rock, Vol. 1 (1994)


Not to be confused with the later Jock Jams series, but just as needless. I'll let Devon Jackson from Entertainment Weekly do the heavy lifting on this one:
Composed mostly of predictable pro-sports staples like Queen’s ”We Will Rock You” and the Isley Brothers’ ”Shout,” Jock Rock Volume 1 rarely transports you into the sports arena. When the songs do, the organ-riff segues and screaming crowds (”Who Wants a Hotdog?”) are too short and too far between to keep you there. D+

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: #79

Tracks:

Under the crowd noise, there's some good tunes there, most of which I have on other discs. A better classic rock alternative is the Rockin' Down The Block compilation. This Jock Rock CD is simply a good idea poorly executed.


Personal Memory Associated with this CD: No idea how this got onto my shelves.
